Los Lances Beach & La Janda

Our first stop was at Los Lances Beach in Tarifa which produced; two Oystercatchers, Grey Plover, Ringed Plover, Audouin Gulls, Sandwich Terns, and Northern Gannets.

Then we had a short drive over to La Janda and on entering the area we could already hear Common Cranes calling out in the distant fields. A good start we thought, and so it was...

Here are a few photos and a list of birds we saw on this particular outing:

• Lapwings 
• Meadow pipits 
• Black storks

Castellar

Having spent a couple of Sunday mornings in the area of Castellar, observing the wonderful

Lesser Kestrel and the Bee-eaters, we just had to add a post about our short outing.

The Kestrels seemed to have bred well, as we saw a good number of chicks in the nest holes waiting to be fed. There where also slightly older chicks feeding out of the nest on nearby roofs.

As always, a very enjoyable time was had. We just had to go and spend some time watching these fantastic birds.
